This week in KC KDE, you can read all of 14 topics covering RealPlayer 8 and KDE2 integration, HTML form completion in Konqueror, the new KDE2 scanner library and GUI, SDI vs MDI, kISDN and kppp integration, and more. Go get it here.

The scan integration into koffice is truly awesome. The developers are my hero's. I hope icon anti aliasing is on someones radar screen for 2.2. A movie and sound editor would be very cool as well. I'm sure someone will get around to it eventually though.

How would anti-aliased desktop icons work? Do you mean the little shadows that you can enable in Kicker? Or do you mean transparent desktop icons that you can see the wallpaper through? Or do you mean something else?

> I was just thinking about my desktop icons. My font is AA but my desktop icons are not.

Click Look&Feel -> Icons in KControl and choose "Blend alpha channel" for the "Desktop/Filemanager" and "Panel" entry. Also you might want to choose 48x48 icons for the desktop and large icons for the panel. As for true antialiasing through scaling: It's already part of KDE since version 2.0 it just doesn't make much sense using 48x48-icons. You can enable it though by playing around in the index.desktop-files in your icontheme ("hicolor" e.g.). You need to replace "fixed" by scalable to make this happen.
